We're on our way! I don't know how many of us are on the final roster, but all of the people whom I met yesterday and more this morning, very, very early this morning, are fascinating professionals with a passion for people with developmental disabilities. I can already see that I'll learn as much from them as I will from our colleagues in Cuba.
Most of us also share the excited apprehension of going to a country with so much unknown and with so many myths. We remind ourselves that tourists from all countries go to Cuba every day, and we will blend in--well, except for being in a big group; but even that will be common. Just another tour group, but with a mission to learn. Boarding soon...
